1. Flora (Columbia)
Head coach: Joshua Staley
2015-16 record: 26-2

Flora wiped the floor with the competition last year and nabbed the South Carolina Class 3A state title. Sophomore Christian Brown will be a force to be reckoned with. The four-star small forward poured in 12 points and 5.6 rebounds per game last season. The high-flying Brown also posted 20 points, six rebounds and five assists per game in the 15-U EYBL Circuit this summer and led the Georgia Stars to the semifinals of the Peach Jam.
